Cleaning external high windows

[alexaff]

Does anyone know of a gadget to clean external high up windows? I've found a magnetic contraption on amazon but the reviews aren't too clever.

The window cleaner won't touch them even with a pole!

This is the gadget I've found on amazon-

The Glider D-3, Magnetic Window Cleaner for Double Glazed Windows up to 28 mm thickness https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00FK0NU..._V5DLzb2P05AW6

Thanks,

I did my upstairs windows yesterday from ground level using one of those telescopic poles with the cleaner thingy on one side and the wiper on the other.

I bought it in a local hardware shop for about £15, but it saves messing around with ladders etc.

The local window cleaner has a massive pole ;) and he can't reach them :(

Abseilers do mine. I'm not kidding.

You can buy really long carbon fibre poles, I imagine they aren't cheap but the guys across the way from me at work sell them - surecleansystems.co.uk

Cheers, the alley way in which you would use the pole is very narrow so you can't get the angle to reach the windows.

I think some sort of gadget used from inside and reach round would be best.

If there is a window sill to stand on outside, an internal doorway anchor point and safety harness will work.
I kid you not - this is how windows are cleaned above 4 floors high.

The next step is to get someone crazy enough to do it.
I know a professional cleaning team in Newcastle who do this work every day, and have the correct gear.
Your local lads will be cheaper if they don't have the 200 mile round trip.

Impressive! Think I prefer this to Reenys idea!

You’d know !

Have you tried calling around or local classified ads, corner shop pin ups? May be someone else has a smaller, more flexible pole or the right tool to reach around..

Small Victorian child, precarious rope arrangement, a disregard for 'elf and safety and three farthings. It's all you need.

No ones going to see them that high up so don't bother 😄

I think you were just looking for an excuse to sneak "reacharound" into a G&D thread...
